There is an old bug revived in iceweasel 3.0.3-1 which renders it useless as standard browser for KDE applications, you get a pop up message like "Iceweasel is already running ..."
The solution is: edit the command in kcontrol (components ... standardbrowser) to
Code:
iceweasel -a iceweasel
Here a link to a screenshot how it should look like (I have a German localisation):
I expect the bug to be fixed soon, but this workaround is fine for now (the new iceweasel fixes security issues, so I recommend updating it and applying this simple workaround).
Hier ist die Info auf Deutsch

Thank you for this workaround.
That error message was about to drive me nuts. |

| It doesn't work with non-KDE apps e.g. icedove. |

For non KDE apps one has to search. "iceweasel -a iceweasel" is the command to start iceweasel in the same instance (which should be default but is not). Unfortunatelly I do not use icedove or pidgin, so I am of no help where to find the command line.
But I hope it will be fixed soon, the bug is graded as "important".

Fix is simple. In /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel find :
Code:
# OK, here's where all the real work gets done
# parse command line
APPLICATION_ID=firefox
VERBOSE=
DEBUG=0
DEBUGGER=
and change "firefox" to "iceweasel"

Gee,
seems to be fixed! Just did an upgrade to 3.0.3 and took a look at /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel and the "APPLICATION_ID" was already changed to "Iceweasel". |
